Trust me, this is a very tough spot to be in. I'm not at all surprised that many in this group supported the Proposition. Unless you are fairly firm in your convictions to the contrary, its just not worth the hassle of trying to swim upstream on something this big.

That would be a tough situation. I don't know how I would have reacted. I would have voted yes, but wouldn't have cared for all the church political activism. My wife, on the other hand, would have been Sister Soldier.
I live in Tennessee. I don't expect anything like this coming our way in a long time.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
